is a rsl a rogers speaker?

I owned Rogersound Lab Monitors. Loved them. They rocked. They were a three way design that had tweeter and midrange adjustments so you could tailor the sound to your liking.

Wife disliked how they looked...so away they went. That started the whole insane audiophile journey that I find myself on today. I have never been as satisfied with the sound of my system as when I owned the RLS monitors and a Kenwood integrated amp from the late 1980s.

You could probably find just those units on eBay, Grant. Why not? See if you can get the satisfaction back!

I think a lot of us are searching for a sound we once had with much more modest systems. On the other hand, as they say, things aren't as good as they used to be...and they never were. :-)

Dan, I get more satisfaction from my wife than any loudspeaker. The grass is not greener, and it was never as green as we remember it to be...or so I've been told.

Ahh the good old days when all of the SoCal players had their own house brands, University Stereo, Pacific Stereo, Cal Stereo. The RSL speakers were probably the best of this lot of underachievers though.

It's interesting that, though all of these house brands are very colored, they were designed for very high sensitivity, so they would sound loudest when the salesperson switched them on from the comparitor board. Strangely enough, this makes many of them sound really good with small push-pull and SE tube amps. Go figure.

Another sidelight of the era is that Upscale Audio was the high-end branch of Rogersound Labs.

You wouldn't be saying that if you had a pair of Zu's!
